Giving and Sharing
On Friday 12th August 2011, our grade 6 & 7 learners with their educators spent a splendid evening together enjoying the true essence of Ramadaan of giving and sharing.
Learners were dressed in their Friday best with thaubs, fezzes and scarves to welcome the long awaited mass Iftaar.
In true Cape Town style, everyone brought a plate of delicious eats to tantalize the taste buds.
This was an ideal opportunity, while all learners were seated together, to have a guest speaker, Sheikh Magdi Hendricks, to remind them of the reasons one fast, highlighting the benefits of fasting and reminding them of their duties during the month of Ramadan.
At Iftaar, learners could enjoy all the delicacies laid out for them. Naturally there was a mass of food to choose from.
A huge thank you goes out to all those responsible for making this such a pleasant social gathering which will remain with learners for many years to come. Thank you to the parents for sacrificing their special time with their family and making an effort to drop and collect their child at school.
The last thanks go to the learners who were well-behaved and most accommodating at the iftaar and for creating a special atmosphere that educators will treasure for a long time.
